Route 8

Route 8 is a route that connects Lagoona Lake and Rosecove Beach. The player's rival meets them there, and will join the player in battles against other trainers, making those fights Double Battles until he leaves. After each trainer battle, he heals the player's Pokémon.

2015 Christmas Event
The 2015 Christmas Event was located at the end of Route 8. There was a building that sells players Hot Chocolate, which has equivalent effects of Soda Pop and heals 60 HP, for 350 Pokédollars and only during holiday seasons. A free Shiny Snover can also be received by helping Mrs. Claus cutting down the trees during the Christmas Event. The event lasted for exactly a week, from 24th December (Christmas Eve) to 31st December, 2015 (New Year's Eve).

Old Well
As shown in the photo, there is an old, mysterious well. If the player has an Odd Keystone in their bag, they may unseal the spirits of the Odd Keystone at the well. Afterwards, the player encounters a wild Spiritomb. The Odd Keystone can be obtained through underwater mining at Lagoona Trenches.

Secret Pond
Opposite to Lady Lusine, there is a narrow path that requires Cut to access. Inside is a secret pond that has a Dawn Stone on the small bridge over the pond. There is also a mysterious crack in the wall.

Tall Grass
All Pokemon are encountered at Lv.13-16, meaning that some Pokemon found on this route, specifically Lillipup and Starly, are around their required levels for evolution.

Old Well
Throw an Odd Keystone into the well to encounter.

Gift
Only available during the 2015 Christmas Event. Requires Cut. One-time only.

Trainers
Note: Trainers with a star symbol (*) can be rematched.

Double Battles
Note: After Jake leaves, subsequent rematches become Single Battles instead.

Single Battle
The following trainer can only be fought in Single Battle because Jake has already left by the time player reaches this trainer.

Items

 * Dawn Stone: On a small bridge above a secret pond opposite to Lady Lusine, requires Cut.
 * TM76 Struggle Bug: Near the end of route, also requires Cut.
 * Ultra Ball: Deep in a gap separated by a line of trees behind Lumberjack Benson.

Trivia

 * The Hot Chocolate heals more than a scientifically made Super Potion, yet it costs half the price of the Super Potion. However, it is slightly more expensive than Soda Pop (which has the same effect and costs 300 dollars) in real games.
 * All of Gentleman Nolan's Pokemon gives Physical Attack Effort Values except his Delcatty, making him a good choice for training the Attack stat of player's Pokemon.
 * In addition, apart from Oddish and Swablu, all wild Pokemon on this route gives either Attack or Speed EVs, making this route optimal for training Pokemon that are fast and specialize in Physical moves.
